SpiralMAX "supercharger" for Milano/V6

[Chip Mutza <dmutza@domain.elided>]

Yesterday in the back of Grassroots Motorsports magazine I came across
an ad claiming to "Supercharge any car". I went to their web page and
checked it out. Well... it's not a supercharger, but a "combination
vortex generator, velocity stack, and venturi, made of stainless steel,
installed in the air path, that extends the resident time between gas
and air, maximizing vaporization for better combustion." according to
their web page. It looks like a little stationary (no... it doesn't
move) turbine that mounts in the air path to create a vortex in the
intake air. On EFI cars like my Milano you insert it into the flexible
intake hose between the filter and the manifold. Supposedly it swirls
the air to create better combustion and give you 0-35% power increase.
They also state that you can use two per hose to double the "boost".
Their customer board is full of people with dyno results ranging from
Ford Explorers to even an Alfa 156!
Is this thing for real? or is it just BS? It would be great it if could
actually give up some noticeable performance increases like it promises.

Tell me what you think! Does it sound like it's worth $69.95/spiralMAX
unit?!? Thanks.
